Dubbed the 'unsinkable' ship, the RMS Titanic, the largest and most luxurious passenger vessel of its time, did what no one believed possible. On April 15, 1912, the Titanic sank into the icy waters of the Atlantic after colliding with an iceberg on its maiden voyage, killing 1,517 people. Take a look back at its construction, journey and discovery on the ocean floor.

Remembering the Titanic

The hull of the Titanic is pulled from water

The largest piece of the hull of the Titanic ever to reach the surface is seen here following its arrival to Boston on Aug. 21, 1998. The French recovery ship Abeille Supporter transported the 20 ton and 26-foot section of the boat after it was pulled from the North Atlantic. The discovery was put on display at the Titanic exhibit in Boston.
